1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Bituminous coal is structurally disordered and chemically heterogeneous, which complicates atomistic construction when models are assembled from representative structural fragments or constrained by limited measurements. Using demineralized, vacuum-dried Shenmu bituminous coal, we developed a molecular dynamics-coupled hybrid reverse Monte Carlo (MD-HRMC) workflow under ReaxFF to construct and validate a three-dimensional periodic atomistic CHONS model containing 10,001 atoms in a 45.6 Å cubic cell (atomic fractions: C 51.27%, H 41.38%, O 6.62%, N 0.53%, and S 0.21%). High-energy synchrotron X-ray total scattering provided an experimental pair distribution function (PDF) as the primary structural constraint, while a ReaxFF-based energetic term penalized chemically implausible local environments. A staged MD-HRMC annealing protocol yielded concurrent stabilization of the PDF misfit and the ReaxFF potential energy, and the resulting model reproduced the experimental PDF over 0-10 Å. An independent comparison with quantitative solid-state
